Preparation

Step 1

1. Combine the onion, salt and pepper in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on HIGH until the onion begins to soften and turn translucent at the edges, 3-6 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking (be careful of the steam). Transfer the onion, along with the bell peppers, to the disposable aluminum baking pan. Place the sausages in a single layer on the vegetables and cover the pan tightly with foil.

2. Turn all the burners to high, cover, and heat the grill until hot, about 15 minutes.

3. Clean and oil the cooking grate. Place the disposable pan in the center of the grill, cover the grill, and cook for 10 minutes.

4. Slide the pan to one side of the grill and carefully remove the foil. Transfer the sausages and peppers directly to the cooking grate and cook until the sausages are well browned on all sides and the peppers are spottily charred, 5-7 minutes, turning them as needed. Transfer the peppers to a carving board and cut into 1/4" strips.

5. Cover the grill and continue to cook the onion, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown and the liquid has evaporated, 5-7 minutes longer. Return the sliced peppers to the pan wit the onion and serve with the sausages in buns.
